Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including works by JC Bach, Chopin, Il Fasolo, Paganini, Moszkowski and Rachmaninov.

Tonight's music journey in the Classical Mixtape starts with Korngold, and moves through JC Bach and Chopin, to a hypnotic chaconne by the 17th-century composer known as Il Fasolo. Gil Shaham plays Paganini leading to a Spanish Dance by Moszkowski and it concludes with majestic Rachmaninov played by Nikolai Lugansky.
